I agree the F30 is a great all-around car. But aside from tech it was a really half-assed effort from BMW. It feels very dated relative to the competition, especially inside. There was a steep drop off in terms of steering feedback, to the point where it didn't even feel like a BMW anymore.

Idk what your issue is with the E90. It was excellent, I still love driving mine. The steering is telepathic, the interior is higher quality than the F30, and it's styling is still very modern. When it was new it was heads and shoulders above any of its competitors. Aside from reliability costs I've never heard a negative thing about it.

You 'mirin?
Totally agree with you on this. When I hear people say the interior quality is better in the F30, I couldn't disagree more. The fit and finish and materials of the E90 are MUCH better than the F30. It feels like a BMW from the moment you open the door. And then you start the engine, start driving it, and you immediately feel how the car is an extension of your body, it hunkers down through corners, and it sounds brilliant with proper power delivery. The reliability of them might not be great, but from a dynamics perspective I believe nothing beats the E90!
